What laptop would you recommend for engineering student?

Q. I'm going to be studying engineering at Washington University in St. Louis this fall, and I'm wondering what type of laptop I should be looking at. I don't want to overbuy but I do want to have something that will meet all the requirements for studying engineering. Any advice is appreciated!

A. I am also an engineering student and I have a PC...I have a friend who had an Apple and had problems installing programs you will have to use for sure like autoCAD... you could still install them in the Apple, but it is a much longer process and much more complicated...so what I would recommend is a PC, with a big memory capacity...as much as you could afford or are willing to pay for...and good processor...mostly because you will have to download big programs for math and design...
i have an HP HDX16 and has worked awesomely! I hope I have helped!

good luck deciding!

What laptop is ideal for engineering in college?

Q. I'm about to start college for engineering, and I still can't decide what kind of laptop is best for me. I've heard that macs are a no-go for engineers, and I've been directed vaguely toward the Dell Latitude, but I still have no clue. Any suggestions?

A. Honestly I always regarded Dell as crappy computers. If I were you, I'd get a Sony Vaio CS as they are extremely reliable and fast.
